BlueIris Indigo 2023.2 Version Release in Store 1.3.11

1.3.11
Indigo 2023.2, API 3.4 Only


Let Indigo install dependencies and manage quarantine.
Create and use pypi library plugin_gifsicle for downloading binary for animated gif creation
see here: https://pypi.org/project/plugin-gifsicle/
Removes any need for xattr unquarantine commands

Remove Pillow and use Indigo installed pillow

Other changes:
Add support for creation of Webp Animated Image as potential replacement for Animated Gif
Appears similar size with better image quality, supported by iMsg as well.

Animated Gif Creation.
Add Number of images to Animated gif as editable, defaults to 15.
Large numbers == very large files.
Add action group for creation of animated Webp images,) should be better animated option. (use Pillow to convert)
Update Quality options for Webp (20 seems ideal)

Camera Groups
Add BlueIris Camera Groups - enables All Cameras as one feed, or indeed single Camera cycling through motion.

These are the groups that you create in BlueIris, can be 1 - hundreds. Groupings of one or multiple cameras, including option to cycle through active camera
eg. Whatever camera in group is triggered will be shown and then move to next triggered etc.
Enables creation of FrontDoor/Doorbell like groups incorporating a number of cameras.

Press generate Cameras from plugin Config menu and these new Groups will appear.

Remember that these are not real cameras - eg. no triggering of Groups possible for example.

Limited states for these Groups and decide to use same Device type == Camera, as a Group it doesn’t support all options (for example BlueIris groups do not trigger)

Main usage: Enables support in Home app, via HomeKitLink of BlueIris Camera Groups.
Easy to add one or other group to Home via HomeKitLink.

I've hit a snag on install: (upgraded indigo to 2023.2) began updating plugins. This is the log when I try to start the BI plugin:

Hi Bill

Try 1.3.11

https://github.com/Ghawken/IndigoPlugin ... tag/1.3.11
& Plugin store momentarily

Removes pillow altogether and uses Indigo version (which is now updated)

Some reports of Pillow not compiling on OSX - may still get same issue with Indigo main Pillow install... but hopefully not...

The update to 1.3.11 fixed it. Running smooth as butter now.

Good.Good.

Interesting - did you need to install xcode command line tools at any time?

(This could be issue with startup after packages failed to install if you did)

It was already installed, but hadn't updated in a while. I'm tracking a different plugin where xcode was a potential culprit.... so yes, xcode was updated, but prior to updating to 1.3.11. So I'm not sure if it helped.

I'm kinda a potato with some of this stuff. I have installed so much stuff via terminal.... no clue what 90% of it was/is. I thought, for example, I had the pillow library already installed for a different plugin (that no longer exists)... but who knows. I really need a new indigo machine so I can start from scratch.
